About this deal

There are a few design elements to this battery powered chainsaw that immediately stand out. Firstly, its size – with a 20cm bar and a very compact body, it’s the smallest of the six cordless chainsaws that I reviewed. Next up, the metal protective cap over the tip of the chainsaw. It’s there to reduce vibration, give you a cleaner cut when pruning trees, and prevent you from cutting with the nose of the chainsaw. Why? Because that requires expertise, whereas this chainsaw is designed for beginners. Chain broke (22%) Keep your chain oiled and tighten it before use to keep it in good condition. If it does break you can usually buy a replacement. I was happy with how long the battery lasted – I was able to use it on and off for just over two hours (it would probably be closer to an hour if it was continously running) before the battery level dropped down to one bar. Speaking of which, the way in which this chainsaw has been designed means that you can clearly see the amount of life left in your battery while you’re using the chainsaw, which always makes things more convenient! It comes with an adjustment lever so that you can adjust the chain and tension with ease. You will like its 30cm bar as well as a bar guide cover, making it safe for use at all times. There is a battery indicator that makes it possible for you to know when to go for a recharge.

Which? has a wealth of information on the UK’s favourite garden-tool brands. Every two years, we ask Which? members and the general public to tell us about the garden products they own - from how likely they'd be to recommend a brand, to how reliable the products are once you get them home. This year, 8,881 consumers told us their opinions. We calculate a brand's customer score based on the results of our biennial survey. Battery failed to charge (11%) Correct storage can help extend the life of your battery - remove it from the chainsaw after use and store it in a dry place at a moderate temperature. Make sure you don't let it run out of charge. For those that own a corded chainsaw, 22% reported that it was down to the chain breaking. 18% of cordless chainsaw owners said that their battery no longer held its charge, and 17% of petrol chainsaw owners said that either the carburettor failed, or that the engine would no longer turn over.

They’re very lightweight when compared to petrol chainsaws – this not only makes them easier to move around to different parts of your garden, but also gives you more manoeuvrability if you need to take your chainsaw up a ladder or a tree Motor failed (8%) Overuse can cause overheating inside the motor. Let it cool down and try again later.

I was already impressed after examining this machine’s design, but became even more so once I started to actually use the chainsaw. It performed brilliantly – I can’t fault it at all. From small branches to tree trunks with a diameter of around 65cm , this chainsaw sliced through it all without once stalling or requiring any force. I even had a professional tree surgeon test out the six chainsaws that I was reviewing, and, having always had a low opinion of battery powered chainsaws, he was even more impressed than I was at how it performed, to the point where he now wants to buy his own Makita!With this Makita DUC353Z review, we will expose you to all the plush features of this amazing machine. It comes with a variable speed control trigger so that you can easily change your operational speed to meet the demand for the type of work you are doing. Its low noise and low vibration operation make it possible for you to be more comfortable when sawing. The table below summarises our latest results. Brands are ranked by their customer score, which relates to whether their customers would recommend that brand. This chainsaw’s fantastic performance is partly due to how powerful it is. As mentioned, its 36V motor makes use of two 18V batteries , giving it double the power of its 18V competitors. I went with 5aH batteries and enjoyed a continuous run time of about 30 minutes . I was using it at full speed for pretty much all of this time, meaning 20 m/s, which, again, is significantly faster than many of the other battery powered chainsaws out there. If you use the machine at a slower speed and on smaller pieces of wood, you’ll enjoy a longer runtime. In terms of appearances, this is clearly a Bosch product. Their branding is very distinctive and definitely gives the machine a high-quality feel.
